Re: Ten Most In-Demand Skills

An eye-opening article on CNBC starts with a bang –

“The United States is currently experiencing one of the tightest labor markets in history and many say that the country is currently facing a skills gap. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. currently has over 7 million unfilled jobs.

This tight labor market has led many companies to become more open-minded when considering candidates. Companies including Google, Apple, IBM and Bank of America no longer require applicants to have a college degree.”

Jumping straight to the heart of the article – here are the 5 most in-demand soft skills in 2019:

• Time Management
• Adaptability
• Collaboration
• Persuasion
• Creativity

Here is what immediately struck me after reading the list –

EVERY ONE OF THESE SKILLS ARE REQUIRED

AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTOR.

You might have noticed – This month we are focused on increasing cash-flow. Rental income is a terrific way of adding consistent revenue to your bottom line.

When done right, multi-family rentals are even better. If you are familiar with flipping properties, there is a tremendous amount of leverage in multi-family investing.

Take what you already know about our business and use it to find 10, 20, or even 50 unit buildings.

Take action and register for the upcoming January WREIA meeting. It very well might change your life.

Rental income from just one property can change your life. Rental income from multiple properties has an even bigger effect on your financial well being.

Our speaker this month went from zero rental properties to over 4,000 units using a method that you can duplicate.

There are over 320 Million people living in the United States. They all need somewhere to live and you can help provide that housing. More importantly, you can get paid to provide that housing. If you do it well, you will be paid well for doing it.

Set aside the evening of Monday, January 21st and plan to be with us at WREIA.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a good crowd of people but I know the speaker is someone you need to hear from. What he has to share with you could make a huge difference in your financial life over the next few years.

Where you FOCUS will have a huge impact on how frustrated you are in 2019. Too many people keep trying to learn our business from free YouTube videos done by people who may or may not have actual success.

Join us at WREIA this month and you can learn from a REAL PERSON having REAL SUCCESS in Real Estate.

Happy New Year and see you soon!

Remember – If you do nothing or continue to do the same tactics as last year, nothing will change. You need to add CASH FLOW to your mix to really make a difference in your financial life.

I have not seen some of you for a long time.

January is a great time to kick off the New Year with energy and networking. Come join us for this special speaker and reconnect with our community. We would love to have you and see what you have been doing this past year.
